- Rodney Dangerfield was an American stand-up comedian, actor, producer, screenwriter, musician and author. He was known for his self-deprecating one-liner humor, his catchphrase "I don't get no respect!" and his monologues on that theme.
He began his career working as a stand-up comic at the Fantasy Lounge in New York City. His act grew in popularity as he became a mainstay on late-night talk shows throughout the 1960s and 1970s, eventually developing into a headlining act on the Las Vegas casino circuit. His catchphrase "I don't get no respect!" came from an attempt to improve one of his stand-up jokes. "I played hide and seek; they wouldn't even look for me." He thought the joke would be stronger if it used the format: "I was so ..." beginning ("I was so poor," "He was so ugly," "She was so stupid," etc.).[clarification needed] He tried "I get no respect," and got a much better response from the audience; it became a permanent feature of his act and comedic persona.
He appeared in a few parts in films, such as The Projectionist, throughout the 1970s, but his breakout film role came in 1980 as a boorish nouveau riche golfer in the ensemble comedy Caddyshack, which was followed by two additional successful films in which he starred: 1983's Easy Money and 1986's Back to School. Additional film work kept him busy through the rest of his life, mostly in comedies, but with a rare dramatic role in 1994's Natural Born Killers.

Guidelines we don't need no Guidelines! Just treat everyone with respect. Except Rodney. Rodney gets no respect. 😃
I don’t really know what’s up with the guidelines. I think I’m part of a beta test feature? It’s not rolled out on every channel yet. Lots of people angry with me about it. Don’t shoot the messenger!
@@DianeJennings oh ok, see you learn something new every day
@@DianeJennings I cant believe anyone would be mad at you for something out of your control. Personally I could never be mad at you for anything. You are one of the most pleasant and enjoyable people on earth❣
@@DianeJennings I was trying to be goofy. I have never seen people attack others on this channel. I don't read all the comments. I usually make silly, sarcastic, goofy, weird types of comments. That was supposed to be one. If I comment and something doesn't seem right just figure I'm off my meds again. HAHAHA 😎
Johnny Carson's late night...before Jay Lenno.
Great reaction, Rodney was a National Treasure, “My wife used to be afraid of the dark, then she saw me naked….
Now she’s afraid of the light!” Miss you Rodney, thanks for the memories Diane! Love your show!
He liked to be naked at home-even in front of an interviewer one time.
He suffered severe depressions throughout his life.
The thing about Rodney Dangerfield is that once he started with the one-liners, you couldn't stop him.
Once he got started, the joke's delivery accelerated. On another note, the man at stage right to Rodney was Johnny Carson's sidekick, aka "straight man", Ed McMahon.
I saw him in Vegas one time in the mid-90s and as I was laughing at one of his one-liners, he was already 5 more one-liners down the road. It got to the point that I lost track of which one-liner I was laughing at. And not a single curse word. Lots of innuendos, tho. In one week in Vegas I saw Gallagher (he of the sledge-o-matic) Rita Rudner and Rodney. Didn't hear a curse word from the stage all week, and that couldn't happen today.
With Rodney...half of the act was in the stand-up routine...and the other half was in the interview with the host. One of his best wife jokes: "My wife likes to talk on the phone when she's having sex. One time she called me from Florida."
Hahahahaha
"I told my wife I didn't appreciate her making fun of me behind my back, she told me 'why would I do that all the funny parts are in the front'.."
Rodeney Dangerfield was a national treasure. I actually saw that same show on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson when it first aired. I was a little kid and the rest of the family was watching the show and Rodney came out. We all got excited because we all knew him and had such a great time.
His twitchiness is a New York-old-school thing. Sort of like how, especially old-school Italians, use their hands a lot to communicate. And it was probably part of his act.
Lovely soul. I'm sure he's selling out stadiums in Heaven.
The "I found out there was no such thing as Alpo baby food" joke is: Alpo is a brand of wet dog food.
Was coming here to make that same comment.
Aha.🤣👌
I used try eating a liver snap as a kid. Those were the dogs treats. Tasted like something between cardboard and a communion wafer.
"I told my son 'you know you might have kids of your own one day' he says to me, 'yeah... you might too!' "
-- Rodney Dangerfield
😱
"You kidding me, my son he's another beauty my son. I took him to Coney island and asked him if he wanted to go to the Crazy House, he told me to save my money we'll be home soon" 👌
Johnny Carson is considered by most to be the greatest late night talk show host of all time. He hosted the tonight show for almost 30 years. I recommend doing a couple of his Carnac the Magnificent sketches sometime. There is also a fun one where he played Tarzan and Betty White played Jane.
Tea time movie skits were good too.
I have seen them😂
Let’s not forget his funniest character Art Fern with the fork in the road and the Slawson Cutoff!
Wham, bam, thank you iguana.
Thing about Rodney's self deprecating humor is that his family life he was mostly neglected and treated poorly. Father ran off early bc the mother was a bear. The mother treated him like Rodney. He tells a story about how he lives with his mother and aunt and sister for a time, and his aunt and sister were going to go to the movies and he begged to go also. They said go clean up, he did and they left him, he ran down the street calling after them, and they just ran off laughing.
He took all that self pain and turned it into his success, even if it was later in life.
Like his wife called him and said come over nobody's home he came over there was nobody home
Rodney Dangerfield perfected rapid-fire stand-up. Not only was he perfect as a stand-up, he was an amazingly kind man. In 1997, I was in Las Vegas with my wife playing craps around midnight. From across the casino floor, I saw him walking by himself to the elevator after his second show. I made the mistake of telling my wife (who was a bit of a celebrity fangirl), and she ran across the floor and said, "Rodney! Rodney! I've lost all my money at craps, but can I get a picture with you?"
His answer: "Honey, you can have me, if you want."
Even when it didn't matter, he was perfect!
He could have said, "Hey, you want to make 14 Dollars The Hard Way". LOL
I think it was David Letterman who said, "There is no 'off' position on the genius switch".
One of my favorites was when Rodney says to Smail’s wife “You must have been something before electricity!”
Not only is that an adorable story, but it got a good laugh out of me too.
The irony of Rodney Dangerfield is his punch line. " I get no respect" Rodney was probably one of the most respected comedians there was. He was also very helpful to up-and-coming new comedians
He gave Sam Kinnison his big break.
He struggled for many years and gave up on comedy and got a regular job for a few years then came back with this persona and it clicked.
King of the one liners. I actually went to a Rodney Dangerfield show back in the day. You heard the first joke, and then the next 4. You started laughing at the first one, and by the time the 4th one came around, you could not breathe because you were still laughing at the first one. Legend. This was the Johnny Carson show. A legend himself.
He replaced Henny Youngman.
Rodney was great in the 80s. Im still rolling at his jokes. He was great in movies too. Back to School was one of my faves in my teenage years.
LOVED that! He tried to pivot into some dramatic acting later in life when he played the dad in Natural Born Killers. His grave marker reads "There Goes The Neighborhood" 😆
My God, the one-liners this genius came up with:
"One time I came home, and I saw this naked guy jogging around our block. I asked him 'why?'; He said ' 'cause you came home early!'"
"My family was so poor; oh, we were so poor! We were so poor, on my birthday my father showed me a picture of a cake."
" My wife can't drive; she's a bad driver. The other day, she wracked the car into a tree. Told me it wasn't her fault; she blew the horn....why my wife, with the car, she hit a deer; it was in a zoo. "
"I get no respect; going way back when I was a child with my parents. There was the time I got lost at the beach. I said to the cop 'You think we'll find 'em?' Cop said 'I dunno, kid; there's so many places where they can hide.'"
"I got a mean kid, ya know; really mean kid. Why, he scotch-tapes worms to the sidewalk, then watches the birds get hernias."
"Bob Barker" I'm in tears 😂😂😂
You're awesome. So genuine & sweet! Thank you for watching & reacting to one of our best comedians of all time!
My favorite Dangerfield joke is when his doctor told him to run five miles a day. "So I call this guy up a week later---I'm 35 miles from my house!!"
1) Rodney Dangerfield (born Jacob Rodney Cohen) was proof that comedy can come from tragedy. He had a horribly traumatic childhood, and remained insecure all his life, despite his success. He tried making a name for himself in show business in the 1940s and was so little known he later joked that he was the only one who knew that he had quit. After working regular jobs, he resumed his show business career in the 1960s. This time he made it. In part because his marriage had failed and he needed to take care of his children, he opened his own comedy club in New York City in 1969, enabling him to travel less often. He was the headliner, but he featured young comedians in his TV specials. That list includes Robert Klein, Jerry Seinfeld, Tim Allen, Roseanne Barr, Jeff Foxworthy, Bob Saget, and many others. I can think of no other celebrity who was so beloved by his peers.
2) An example of his insecurity is that when he was filming his very funny scenes for the movie "Caddyshack," he thought he was "bombing" because the other actors and the film crew weren't laughing. They had to explain to him that they were not allowed to laugh, although I'm sure some takes were ruined by laughter.
This small accurate
@@marklar7551 I don't understand
Yep. It was Rodney's first time working with professional actors, he'd only done standup up until then.
"I tell ya, last week was hard for me ya know. My fan club broke up. Yeah the guy died"
I'm not sure it's true, but I believe that between his first attempt at comedy and his second time, he sold insurance for a while. Most people would be surprised at how many big stars in Hollywood worked menial jobs before they became a success. Jeff Foxworthy worked for IBM before quitting and becoming a famous comedian.
He's my all time favorite comedian he was in quite a few movies, Caddyshack, as he mentioned, then Easy money in 1983, Back to school '86 Lady bugs, '92 he also helped kick start the careers of many now famous comedians like Tim Allen and more.
We need more people like you ,who like people and are positive.
Rodney Dangerfield was one of the biggest standup comedians in America. Starting with Caddyshack in 1980, he also had a string of hits in the movies but was more at home on stage doing standup. I recommend that you watch Caddyshack with Bill Murray and Chevy Chase. Rodney steals the show and is electric in all of his appearances. In fact, many of his lines are still used in American slang/patois today.
His movie Back to School is hilarious, and co-stars a young Robert Downey Jr
He was a massive hit and headliner 10 years before "Caddyshack". He lost $40k 1980 dollars in the pay difference between the movie and the club dates he canceled to do it.
Don't forget Ted Knight, what a scene-stealer! That movie had more talent in it than a cheesy comedy deserves to have. Such a classic!
Definitely on board with CADDYSHACK, that movie was a trend setter.
Caddyshack, Easy Money and Back To School are recommended. His later movies are not.
He was a legend who inspired many of the comedians today. He also helped pioneer a lot of what we consider today the standard comedy tropes and the king of self-deprecation. But his "no respect" was his most iconic routine, that he had many versions. His signature twitch began in his early years when he was nervous on stage, and later on kept it as part of his act because he became recognized for it. He was also known for being quick on his feet with jokes
Rodney Dangerfield is and will always be in my top 5 favorite comedians! Rest In Peace!, Rodney, you're making God laugh now!
One of my fav comedians of all time! Glad you enjoyed him Diane! And I love your comedic lines and mannerisms as well!
He was "on" The Simpsons where he played Montgomery Burns's son. Instead of "no respect" he got "no regard". Also "Alpo" is a dog food brand.
Good info!
@@DianeJennings and EF Hutton was an investment firm in the 80s. There tag line was, "when EF Hutton talks people listen".
@@timhall5840 and everyone stopped talking to hear what he had to say
"I tell ya I get no respect! I was told one day that I should donate my body to science. Well, the shape that I'm in I should donate it to science fiction!" 😂😂
I had the immense pleasure to see Rodney live in person on 3 separate occasions. Even been that in TV or movies! An amazing comedian and quick wit.
Rodney was a great comedian and it was great to see you watch him. This made me laugh tremendously.
He had a hit movie late in life where he play Thornton Melon, a rich, self-made man who went back to college with his son. The movie is a wee bit raunchy but typical for the 1980s. Its called Back to School and was released in 1988.
I got a check that out! Thank you so much for the gift. I’m putting it in the Chewie immunotherapy fund. Five months left
@@DianeJennings Yes! The Triple Melon is legendary! He was also the rich guy in Caddyshack.
He had a one liner that I kinda liked, it was "Marriage is not a word, it's a sentence!"
Dont forget Caddyshack!!
Just rewatched it with a friend of mine 3 weeks ago. It really still holds up.
One of his lines was:
“I never get any respect. I went to the store to buy rat poison. The guy at the counter asked me, “Do you want me to bag it, or are you going to eat it here?” 😂
so glad you commented on Dangerfield. One of my favorite quotes of all time is from Dangerfield: "The only normal people are people you dont' know that well."
His fidgeting was part of his act. When I worked at JFK Airport in New York in the mid-1970s, I saw him there often as he waited for the red-eye flight to Los Angeles. Many years later, I lived only one block from him, and we once shared a taxi from the hospital. We both had prescriptions to fill, and it was pouring rain. He told me to stay in the taxi and then ran across the avenue without an umbrella to fill both our prescriptions at the pharmacy. He was calm and gentlemanly, not at all like his comedic character.
Rodney dangerfiled rocks! I took my wife to a dog show…she won!
Omg 😳
I’m so happy you checked Rodney Dangerfield out! I’ve always thought he was the other side of the same coin as Don Rickles in terms of comedic style.
Good observation
I never cared much for Don Rickels. He was too much of an insult comic. Rodney usually just insulted himself.😁
Thank you so much young lady for showing one of my favorite comedians of all time. He kind's reminds me of George Burns the other comedian who lived to be about 100 years old. He passed away in 1996 and to me he also like Rodney had Ageless Wit. And yes pretty lady what you just finish showing was a clip from The Tonight Show which Johnny hosted from 1962-1992. That also was pretty good. You got good taste pretty lady, you got a lot of class. So glad to see a pretty lady without tattoos, and a behind as big as a bus and your beautiful hair is not multi colored like a punk rocker wearing a stupid cap. Anyway, have a Blessed Day. Adios. PS: Keep up the good work.
Glad you were introduced to Rodney Dangerfield. His success came rather late in his life, but he quickly acquired an almost cult-like following. When he appeared on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson (the sidekick was Ed McMahon), there really was no traditional interview. Carson just acknowledged Rodney's almost stream of consciousness comments and sometimes tried to help out with a few straight line inquiries. In my opinion, his greatest film accomplishment was "Back to School." Poor "sad eyes" Rodney never "got any respect" and had troubles with his physician, Dr. Vinnie Boombotz. Best joke re Dr. VB: "My doctor told me to run five miles a day. Two weeks later I called him and told him that I was 70 miles from home!" As an American, I never thought of Dangerfield as having an "accent," but I suppose it was some type of East Coast one, probably related to New York. Thank you for featuring and considering him. Cheers!
I get no respect. I Tell ya, My wife kisses the dog on the lips, yet she won’t drink from my glass. No respect!
He was absolutely incredible live. I attended the University of Florida long, long ago. Rodney was the featured entertainer one year at an even called Gator Growl (the Homecoming celebration). He worked a stadium full of 75,000 people like it was a small room. He had everyone laughing solidly for over an hour. I've never laughed that hard at any other comedian - it quite literally made my ribs hurt and everyone else was in the same condition. I saw a lot of the old classic comedians and even George Carlin and Richard Pryor didn't top Rodney.
BTW, I think the year Rodney was at Gator Growl was 1982. Yeah, I'm old.
About as old as I am. And to this day I still think Rodney was the funniest standup comedian I ever saw.
I'm old now, too. Rodney had a funny line for that, too. "You know you're getting old when, at the end of the year, your insurance company sends you half a calendar." The guy was a gem and a genius.
the "fidget" was part of the "act". especially the hand to the tie. Rodney was always a treat to watch!
"I once had a girlfriend who said 'Come on over.. nobody's home', I went to her house, no one was home!" - RD
6:26: "I think that's a TV show"......Yes, it's The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. Johnny was the master of late night TV. Rodney made more than 70 appearances on this show. It's where a lot of young comedians get their big break.
And don't forget Johnny's right hand man, Ed McMahon.
Remember when Late Night TV shows used to be funny? Yeah...
Rodney's official appearence count was 68 times on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson!!!!!!!! 👌
@@bartonpercival3216 Every source I found indicated it was more than 70.
@@DanielFrost21 I was watching an interview with Rodney in the late 1990's and he was asked by the interviewer how many times he appeared on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, and he answered 68. To my best recollection!!!!!!!! 👌
"Even when I was a kid I didn't get no respect. When I was in high school a girl got me in trouble." Classic Rodney.
I’m so happy you got to experience Rodney Dangerfield, he is one of the best old school comedians. If you get the chance, watch his movie Back to School, it probably got trashed by the critics, but I loved it!
Rodney Dangerfield, master of the rapid-fire, self-deprecating humor! Love him.
Glad you got to see him in action too.
Rodney was brilliant. The king of the one liners. I owned that album they held up. I could recite it line for line. "I get no respect. When I was baby, I was breastfed by my father" was the first joke. Great reaction, Diane. 👍👍
One of the goats legend and they are still amazing when you watch him like on the old Johnny Carson Show in the US how he could just roll one punch after another
Three times seeing this and it still kills me hearing her say "who is that...not Bob Barker" lmao so sweet and young to be seeing guys from the 1970's 🤣
I love how you like the “old school” type of humor. I’m 53 so it’s even “old school” for me, but so much better than the garbage we get today with so called comedy. It proves you don’t have to cuss and be disrespectful and over sexualize everything to create humor. I love your videos! Keep up the great work!!! I am also a huge fan of your accent!😉😊
Happy Friday Diane! I personally think that Rodney Dangerfield is a riot! I can't watch his comedy routines or his movies without a straight face and not laugh hysterically. The man is an absolute riot! He's the only one that can make fun of himself and not take it too seriously. You should react to his film, "Back to School." (1986). That's a classic! Have a great weekend and be well lovely Diane!
Thanks Ed! You too
I was gonna suggest Back to School too. The Triple Lindy scene is classic.
@@rhettg24 "I'm cancelling the check, Vonnegut!"
Thank you so much for reacting to it Diane! 🙆♀️
No doubt Rodney is my favorite comedian of all time. He always had me rolling in laughter, so much so my stomach would hurt.
Diane, I felt like you wanted to give Rodney a hug. 🙂
Rodney was on fire for a number of years. I really enjoyed him too.
"I know I'm ugly. When my dog humps my leg it has to close its eyes."--Rodney Dangerfield.
You know the world is turning dark when young pretty women no longer know who Johnny Carson was. Only the greatest T.V. late night talk show host of all time.
When a young comedian got invited to Johnny’s show for the first time, he would do his routine. At the end, if he saw Johnny motion him over to the couch for more airtime with the man himself, he knew his career was made. That is how influential the Tonight Show was in its heyday with Johnny.
@@kathyastrom1315 David Spade missed the wave and walked off stage, haha.
Johnny Carson wasn't very big across the pond.
So cut Diane some slack boy.
You forgetting the women? Guess what, Ellen DeGeneres was one...
Oh please, she's Irish and was likely born nearly two decades after this Tonight Show episode was first broadcast.
When Dangerfield was starting out, he often never made enough at gigs to get to the next venue. In traveling from upstate New York and back to New York City, one time in the mid 1960;s, he stopped in Worcester , Mass and asked for a gig at a well-know supperclub just for enough fare to get a bus to NYC. The owner was a great friendly local nightclub owner, had him do his set, and gave him a bonus and more than enough money on top to get to NYC. He would stop back in a few times over his lifetime, unannounced, to do a few minutes on stage. He remembered people that treated him well.
That episode of Johnny Carson was when I was a teenager who wasn’t allowed to stay up late. I thought, that’s ok, I’ll always be able to stay up to watch Johnny Carson when I grow up. Sadly, he retired and has since passed away.
Rodney was infamous for his "pot" smoking and doing coke. Being fidgety was part of his schtick but the coke probably helped. He was a true stand-up pioneer and helped many, many comedians get their start with his comedy club Dangerfield's and supporting roles in movies and inspiring many others.
It's kinda infamous, after his passing, the coke, pot, pills that the other comedians spilled the beans (tea?) on. Before it was a thing :). I'm watching him now, seeing coked up, not fidgety. Fair enough, he made me laugh for years. Him being "happy", made me happy. Watch Robin Williams on the tonight show, early 80's. Energetic, right? No, self admitted seriously coked up. Still funny tho...
@@thomasbeirne8213 Coke was used so much back in those days, and probably still, that it helped hide the pain of so many comedians, especially Robin. Also giving a lot of the energy they needed but destroying their bodies as well.
I remember the HBO specials that were at Dangerfield. There's a 1984 special that had Bob Sagget, Jerry Seinfeld, and Sam Kinison on it. Still funny
Cocaine should have its own producers credit on half the films made in the 70s and 80s.
It'd have a bigger filmography than Speilberg.
Rodney Dangerfields comedy theme was "No Respect. I get no respect!"
ALPO was the most popular dog food brand at the time.
Consider Bob Hope, Abbott and Costello, and I think you would like Lucille Ball.
Lucy is a great recommendation. The one where she and Ethel are working at an assembly line and things keep coming.
I was thrilled to discover that Lucille was a very distant cousin of mine while working on my family tree!
She needs to see the live commercial for Vitameatavegimin.
@@CaptainFrost32
Or the candy assemby line.
My grandmother was born and raised in Ireland, emigrated to the USA where she married. Unfortunately she died before I could know her. Today was the first time I heard you, Diane. I like to think that you are just like my grandmother: funny, good-hearted, pretty, interesting and intelligent. Thanks for making my day!
Watching on my birthday. Great video, Diane! I was hoping you’d get to Rodney soon.
I was an ugly baby. I was so ugly, when I was born, the doctor slapped my mother. - Rodney
"You kidding me I know I'm ugly. Even as a child I was ugly. When I was born, after the doctor cut the cord, he hung himself" 👌
That scene with him and Sam Kinison in the movie Back to School 😆
Oh?
Yeah that’s a very funny part
@@DianeJennings You should do a Sam Kinison react video. Another good comedian that died before his time.

Despite his many negative comments about his family, in particular his wife, it should definitely be noted he was a very kind and loving husband and father. His comedy is legend, but so is his commitment to his family, which in many ways makes his comedy even better.
Caddyshack was fantastic and I have a huge love for Back to School with Rodney :)
A lot of good comedians got their start when they appeared on the Tonight Show during the Johnny Carson era. One good routine is from the first time Ellen Degeneres appeared on the show in 1986. She did well enough that she was invited to sit by Johnny's desk after her routine to chat for a few minutes. Whenever that happened to a comedian in their first appearance, they knew they'd made it.
Seinfeld too.
"I know I'm getting old. My doctor asked me for a urine sample, a stool sample and a semen sample. So I left my underwear and went home."--Rodney Dangerfield.
These were just his clean jokes. The dirtier jokes are hysterical. One of my favorites of his was “my problem is I’m too easygoing. The other night I had dinner in a Chinese restaurant and I opened my fortune cookie. Inside was the guys check next to me. I said ‘hey buddy I got your check’ he says ‘thanks’.
Rodney Dangerfield was a machinegun of one-liners. He had one Carson appearance where he finished with his bit, paused, then asked the rest of the couch (in essence) "so what's up with you?" It reduced Carson to howls of laughter. His other great feat: He created the character of the guy who got no respect. He created, owned, and enshrined it.
There are several period jokes. E.F. Huton had a famous comercial where everyone stops talking to hear. Some are real Americanisms, as you say.
"My doctor is upset. He just learned he got one of his patients pregnant."
"He's a vet."
One of my favorite Rodney Dangerfield jokes.
Rodney built his routine around the theme of "I don't get any respect". He used a lot of self deprecating humor. But you are right. His one-liner jokes came very fast and he could have you laughing so hard you had trouble breathing. He's been gone for a while now, but the guy was funny. One night on The Tonight Show he was really on a roll. He stopped in the middle of the routine and said to the crowd "I know a lot of jokes." And then just kept on going. Started becoming a big name in the 1960s. I remember watching this show when it was first broadcast. Times were different back then. He had class.
I remember a funny story about Rodney Dangerfield where someone was waiting in line to see his show at his club and Dangerfield happened to be walking past the line to the back entrance with his wife. Apparently his wife was beautiful and super nice and she and Rodney were saying hi to everybody in line as they walked by. When they got to the door, Rodney let his wife in the club, said he'd "catch up in a minute", and then after she went in he proceeded to go into joke after joke about his wife. 😄 So yeah, that stage persona is just an act.
Johnny Carson was considered the gatekeeper for comedians' careers back in the '70s and '80s. Most stand up comics had what they called a "clean 5," meaning that a lot of a comedian's material could be dirty, but they had to have 5 minutes of clean material in case they got asked to do the Carson show. If they did well on Carson then they were probably set for life.
I remember a few comedians jokingly "complaining" that doing Carson was a dilemma. They of course wanted to put out their best material, but then it was ruined for there act because everyone in the country knew the joke.
Rodney appeared on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson 63 times. Johnny Carson loved Rodney!!!!!!!!
"I tell ya Johnny it's all about your health ya know. I asked my doctor if my heart was strong enough for sex, he said not if I join in" 👌
A lot has been said about Rodney in here, so I'll just mention that the Johnny Carson Tonight show was the biggest talk show in the US from the 60s on up to about 2000. He was so admired that if you didn't watch the Tonight Show, (11:30 every weeknight for 1 1/2 hours) then you had little class or awareness. He was so funny, and did standup comedy himself at the beginning of each show. He also had every big mane in Hollywood on the show, and many who were just really talented in one way or another. Johnny just had a way of making the guests and home viewers comfortable, as though he and the performers were in their living rooms.
Rodney is one of the greatest one liner comedians ever, some say he's the 👑 of that craft. Johnny Carson was a standup comedian when he took over the Tonight Show from Jack Parr and became known as the king of talk shows. "Alpo" was a dog food brand. Dangerfield had two great moves, Caddyshack and Back to School. He was a great standup, but his best years were the late 70's through the 80's. Smoking would eventually be banned from indoor public places in America in the 90's. Great memories and reaction.
Whenever Rodney was on the tonight show, or other shows. His stand up act continued. Rodney is truly the king of on liners.
Henny Youngman may differ with you on that.
In my opinion Rodney is one of the all time greatest one liner comics ever!!!
When I was a kid, my dad's coworkers always said he looked like Rodney Dangerfield. I never saw it, but I can see it now.
Watching Back to School starring Rodney is a must.
Rodney is easily one of my favorite all time comedians!!!
Rodney came from an era in the 1950's and '60's when lots of comedians would get their start doing stand up comedy in nightclubs, and almost all of Rodney's material was one-liners. His "I get no respect" line was his signature bit. He and Johnny Carson went way back, and when Carson started hosting "The Tonight Show", Rodney was a frequent guest. BTW, Johnny was (and still is) called the "King of Late Night". The sidekick was Ed McMahon who had that position when Carson was host. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tonight_Show

That's when TV was fun to watch!!
He was kind of the next generation up from Henny Youngman, who was typically referred to in his day as the "King of the One-Liners."
1st cassette my parents took away from me as a kid was a Dangerfield standup! Bought it again! Have it ripped from my CD copy l! One of the all time legends. Different era.
"The neighborhood I grew up in was rough, I tell ya, it was rough. Our high school football team? After they sacked the quarterback, they went after his family."
Legend.
Thanks Diane! Rodney’s always good for some laughs. His movies Caddy shack, Back to School, and Easy Money are full of laughs. Take care and have a great weekend! ❤️U ☘️🇮🇪🇺🇸
Don't forget Lady Bugs lol that movie was great
Easy Money was hilarious!!
Caddyshack has some funny scenes. None that involve Rodney though.
@@carn9507 You either like him or you don’t.
Man has it been a while since I've seen his performances. Thanks for the video, he was a natural.
The talk show is The Tonight Show which started in the 1950's. It had a few hosts for the first few years till Johnny Carson, the host in this video clip, took over in 1962. He stayed the host till 1992 when he finally retired.
The Tonight Show was an American institution. Johnny Carson was a very beloved celebrity and stayed that way till he retired. I started watching the tonight show when I was a teen during the mid 80s and kept up with it till Johnny retired.
You also mentioned that Rodney was still doing jokes (his act) after sitting down. This was very common with comedians on talk shows at the time. The host would frequently just ask setup questions to allow the comedian to tell jokes.
Rodney was one of the “boarst belt” Jewish comedians who cut their teeth in the summer resorts of NY’s Catskills mountains. He was the king of one liners, and his performance in the movie “Caddie Shack” is for the ages…
Happy Friday! I feel Rodney Dangerfield joke are still very funny today. Have a very safe and awesome weekend.
Thanks Greg
@@DianeJennings His jokes are timeless and cross-generational. Everyone can relate, at some level, to his one-liners...so they never go out of style. Another comedian in the States, from slightly before (but also during) Rodney's time, who was actually the first I'd ever heard referred to as "The King of the One-Liners" was Henny Youngman. If you can watch any videos of Henny you will find out where Rodney's one-line style came from. Henny's "schtick" was that he usually had his violin with him and would occasionally play short runs of notes on it between his jokes. Mostly, he just let it hang at his sides...the violin in one hand and the bow in the other. His most famous one-liner was when he would begin to joke about his wife, he would generally start out with, "Take my wife. Please!" After that, it was one rapid fire joke after another about her.
Caddy Shack is a wonderful classic. It's straight up 80s humor with some raunchy scenes that aren't overly done. Even if you're not into golf, I think you might like it Diana 💙
"Hey Wang I think this place is restricted, so don't tell them your Jewish, ok fine" 👌
Raunchy??? Compared to todays filth? Caddy shack would have been PG13 by todays standards.
The show host was Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show, a late night mainstay. Carson loved having Rodney on the show. All the time Johnny could be the straight man leading Rodney into the one-liners about the subject. Rodney was the king of the one-liners. You may have heard a joke before but it was his constant deprecation and deliver that still made it funny.
Back many years ago McDonald's hamburger chain had the tag line "You deserve a break today". His line was I went to a MacDonalds. They said I didn't deserve a break. I don't know why but that line still sticks with me today.
Rodney was a very funny man. Had some really funny movies back in the day.
Including the somewhat forgotten "Easy Money"
I can't remember if it was this interview but there's one where he did his set sat down for the interview all while having a heart attack. Needless to say he still killed it. After he was done he went backstage and immediately got into an ambulance and went to the hospital.
Great stuff Diane! Really enjoyed this one. :)
Rodney Dangerfield was an excellent comedian, I'm glad that you enjoyed what you saw.
The whole fidgeting tie thing was part of his act. Rodney was awesome! And, as others here have said once Rodney got started with his act it never ended. :)
"You call that a steak? I can still see the marks where the jockey was whipping it!" My favorite "no resoect" story was this: one day, a charity organization contacted Rodney's agent to see about booking him for an event to raise money. The agent had to inform them that he had been dead for two years. No respect at all!
Thank you for the reaction video, Diane! Rodney Dangerfield was always a hoot to listen to. You should look at some Mitch Hedberg videos if you like low key, understated comedians. He was quite insecure in real life, so he really liked it when the crowd would laugh at his jokes. Really a likeable comedian on almost a personal level.
I used to steal Mitch Hedberg jokes, all the damn time.
I still do, but I used to, too.
Rodney was one of a kind. They don't make comedians like him anymore.
My all time favorite Dangerfield joke. This is from a news article about his upcoming heart surgery, about 6 weeks before he died. Even at a time like that, he was cracking jokes.
Asked how long he would remain in the hospital after Wednesday's operation, he said: "If things go right, I'll be there about a week, and if things don't go right, I'll be there about an hour and a half."
